  1. Configuration system failed to initialize, could not open settings


    A while ago, my pc started to display a message saying the configuration system failed to initialize every time I open it. After this message started popping up, I couldn't open my settings. I'd try to open it and it would start to open, but after a while it would stop from running.

    :)

  2. Configuration system failed to initialize

    Hi Dave,

    There are different factors that can contribute as to why a Windows 10 system service is not loading correctly. This could be caused by a recent update or system files that got corrupted. For us to resolve your concern, kindly answer the questions below:

    • Were there any recent changes made or updates installed prior to the issue occurring?
    • Were there any error messages that showed up since you mentioned that the configuration system failed to initialize?
    • Which version and build of Windows 10 is installed on your computer?

    We look forward to your response to our queries.
